“Has anybody tested the difference in performance of 16gb cl22 vs 32gb ram? Mainly fps in AAA games. I bought 16gb to replace the stock ram but want to know if 32gb is worth the extra 80$.”

Hello, I just went ahead and upgraded the ram to 32 GB vs just replacing with the same amount of ram. For RAM you have to get something that is DDR 3200mhz but that is NOT 3200MHZ because of XMP 2.0. On AMD systems usually called DOCP which is the same thing. However in the BIOS asus doesnt give you any option to enable this so the 3200mhz speed will only work if this feature is enable with XMP or DOCP ram. Otherwise will default to 2600 mhz or whatever the base clock is. I was only able to find corsair that was Dual channel 32gb 3200mhz ddr4. Was still CL22 but secondary timing were way lower so does make a difference. FYI the crucial ballistix will work since XMP is required to reach the speed and timings you will take a worse performance hit than with stock. Hope this helps. Also there is 1 m.2 slot open as well and I bought a 2tb Samsung drive from best buy :D
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
